It’s polarizing for sure, regardless hearing that album as a teen is a revelation...

Picking from the hat: John Zorn.

Alternatively, there's a shit-ton of stuff if you look outside the US/Europe. How about Fela Kuti as a starting point?

Listened to a bunch of Zorn growing up. Talked one of my students I to doing a school report on Fela. Actually haven't listened to either in years. Thanks for the reminder.

Felt - Strange Idols Pattern...

Can't believe I forgot this one, a seminal guitar album that unwittingly spawned a billion sound-a-likes. Criminally underrated band

Ceremony, The Miraculous and Dead Magic by Anna Von Hausswolff. Pipe organs, guitars and fantastic vocals.
Any Gazelle Twin, the music gets more esoteric with each release.

If you want very minimalistic music then check out Richard Chartier/Pinkcourtesyphone

So much great stuff! Void, that's a nice little list you got there, some great record choices. This track is one of my all time favorites. Spent many hazy nights with friends on top of my roof listening to this and many other older jazz cuts.

[Scories]

Not exactly an album, but here's two very rewarding works from Stravinsky : Les Noces + Agon
If you're into [high quality] tape-mangling music : Marc Baron, Carnets
If you're into post-krautrock : Organ Mood, Comme si nous étions déjà libres
If you're into majestic ambient : Giulio Alducinucci, Disappearing in a Mirror

[didahdrieghe]

Difficult to pick one album..
